Abstract

The emerging discipline of Quantum Cognitive Studies is filled with promise and pitfalls. The rich and detailed formalism of quantum theory must be closely considered in crafting an approach to the field. This essay strikes a cautionary note in assessment of trends which reduce the theory to instrumentalism. A brief accounting of the proper formalism, will correct the problem of “quantum-like” adaptations. The quantum principles which govern the complexities of dynamic object representation may be analogously and fruitfully captured in a schematic adaptation of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer.
